Great! Thanks for the info Stephen. I didn’t know you could do that. Somehow I though I needed my own public repo to sync with these central repos…plus…in the interests of full disclosure, I wasn’t able to find a clear, concise tutorial on how to do this.

thanks for the note, I didn’t know we could do that. I’ve been using wagon-svn lately. Perhaps a link on how to configure a simple build to post to Sonatype, when others happen by?

Please do NOT use this approach.

Sonatype provide free hosting of a Maven Repo for open source projects and BONUS! you get syncing to Maven Central too for free!!!

P.S.

In the interests of full disclosure, I do not work for Sonatype but some open source projects I run use the free hosting of maven repositories provided by Sonatype

May I express my concern about this approach? This basically introduces microrepository. Users of these projects require either duplicate entries in their pom: one for the dependency and one for the repository, or put great burden on the maintainer of the local repository to add each microrepository by hand.

Often companies choose to maintain a locale repository in order not to be dependant on the internet and remote sites for their build process. These local repositories have the ability to automatically fetch used artifacts from remote repositories, but these repositories must be configured first. All these microrepositories do not make things easier.

So please instead of this solution have your Maven build post artifacts to a real repository like Java’s, Maven’s or Sontatype’s.

Updated accordingly. But, the pom gets downloaded, the JAR is searched only @ the default repo and not @ the specified google code URL.

Have you looked into using wagon-svn [1] for SVN deployment?

If you start using that, please consider commenting-on/voting-for issue 4 [2] so that mime-types can get applied when deploying Maven sites.
